English Paper Piecing at Thursday Meeting

 

At our Thursday meeting, Bianca and Courtney will be teaching a workshop on English Paper Piecing.  We would love to have you participate by making your own hexie ring or flower.

Please bring at least 6-7 scraps cut to a 3" square and a hand sewing kit with hand needle, thread and scissors.  If you have a fabric glue stick (like lapel or sewline) you can bring that too; some people like to use them although they are not necessary.

If you already have paper hexies, please bring them, but we will have them if you don't.  You can purchase paper pieces here or print them here.  We recommend starting with the 1" size at first. 

See you on Thursday!
